Swallows Seem To Be Evolving to Avoid Cars

RE: Swallows Seem To Be Evolving to Avoid Cars
Don't be ridiculous.

The default position in science is scepticism, ie "I don't know".

You have presented an observation and come to the conclusion that it is an example of evolution in action. I believe otherwise - evolution requires significant development and change for it to be a clear example of evolution. What you have an example of is the species preferring specific genes in a specific environment. That's not evolution, their wings have not been permanently shortened - if the environment suddenly changed back to how it traditionally was their wings could go back to the way they were.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
